I polished the epoxy templates and drilled holes in the underside, into which I glued the wooden log. I used the blocks ...

I still miss this small helicopter in my collection of flying machines used in Czechoslovakia. The time has come for me to rectify that. 😉

Hello, Greg. I know there's a Mi-1M kit in 1/72nd scale. Unfortunately, only this and a rather old kit from Special Hobby exists in 1/48 scale. In addition, this kit is an older version of the Mi-1A, which is different from the upgraded version of the Mi-1M. It has a different nose shape, different cockpit glazing and other minor changes. And since I decided to build the upgraded version of the Mi-1M, I will not avoid modifications to the kit.
To give you a better idea of the extent of the modifications to the kit, I've included a picture with the differences between the Mi-1A and Mi-1M versions color coded.

Oh, neat! I didn't realize there were so many changes between the versions. This is going to look great!

Greg, thank you for your support.

I started building the model by making new transparent parts.

Yeah. Nice work on the heat-n-smash moulding for the clear parts. That can be tricky to do.

@Alec K
I used to buy ABC magazine regularly as a kid and eagerly awaited each new issue 🙂. I assume your mention of ABC magazine refers to the occasional modeling tutorial section.
@gorby, @Greg Baker
It's not too difficult to make new transparent parts by stretching warmed transparent foil over a pre-made template. Preparing the template is the most work. Stretching the warmed foil onto the template is just a routine that anyone can do after a few attempts.

Make yourself comfortable, István and J35J. This will be surely a long party... 😉

Believe me, István, A-model kits are much more modeller-friendly than Mach 2... Take a look here, for example: modelingmadness.com/..korean/us/hammx2.htm
27 August, 15:20
![](/profiles/img/104687-298-s.jpg)
That's something to be excited about. Mach2 kits don't have the reputation of being shaking kits. 👍
27 August, 15:50
![](/profiles/img/10591-s.jpg)
As I said on the project, I wish you luck with this, it is something you seldom see, but it looks cool in the end. It is quite a long time ago when I did mine - al the best!
and, so far it does not look that bad for a mach2

What an audience I have... I feel a bit under pressure now 😉 @Martin - you're right, at least the polistyrene seems to be of a good quality.

Extra like for the striking project title 😂! I expected an old KP kit first…
27 August, 20:56

Soo many seams.... Watching this tutorial for sure 😉. OMG, Robert, that's quite a critique of MACH, kits.... Good Luck!

It's such a cool subject, I remember seeing it in my dads airplane books when I was young.

Robert, once again you have chosen a great topic. The French experimental jet powered Leduc aircraft looked really futuristic at the time of its creation.
I wish you strong nerves and a lot of fun building your model!
27 August, 22:30
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Now I feel even more pressure 😉 ... @Bruce - I know what I am talking about, I have completed a few models from both producers already 😉 @Ludvik - I was lucky enough to see both Leduc 010 and 022 in Le Bourget museum and they still look futuristic imho 🙂

He certainly wouldn't be a disgrace as a space fighter in Star Wars. 😄
The photos of the kit parts show that you really have a lot of work ahead of you.

Hi Robert, Haha! 'da Putty Party'... Love it!... Following with great interest 🙂
28 August, 10:29

Still, the plastic is workable, Ben. As far as I have checked: it can be filed, filled, and glued... So, there is hope... 😄

I looked in the stash and I have a mach2 kit I bought when I was young and foolish.
28 August, 13:45
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
I have five, not counting this one... Hmm...the testimony of what kind of mental disease it is? Nothwithstanding, only Mach 2 offered models of some exotic planes, like X-24.
28 August, 14:19

I wish you luck Robert. Your going to need it (and probably a stiff drink or four). 😉
Was the kit mould made from soap? 😄
28 August, 15:14
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Thanks for your encouraging words, Gorby! ... It seems probable, taking into account that in some Mach 2 kits the material itself is "soapy"... 😄
28 August, 16:08

A French prototype and a Mach 2 kit? Can't miss that... I see I'm late but a seat way back in the gallery must be still available...

Feel warmly welcomed, Alex, Jennifer and M0rce! I am glad to have you all aboard. @Alex - I have started this album yesterday, so you're not late 🙂
